ChIP was performed using antibodies against SP9, ARX, ASCL1, GSX2, and NR2F1. Basal ganglia were dissected in cold PBS from CD1 embryos (2 L/Ab for NR2F1; 3 L/Ab for ARX, ASCL1, and GSX2). The basal ganglia consisted of the LGE, MGE and CGE progenitor and mantle zones. The dissected basal ganglia were either fixed in 1% formaldehyde at RT for 10 min (SP9, ASCL1, GSX2, NR2F1) or fixed in 1.5% formaldehyde at RT for 20 min (ARX), neutralized with glycine, and washed gently in PBS. The fixed cells were lysed with a hypotonic buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5 / 0.5% NP40 / 0.25% sodium deoxycholate / 0.1% SDS / 150 mM NaCl) to obtain the nuclei; these were then lysed in 1% SDS buffer and the chromatin was sheared into 300-1000 bp fragments by sonicating for 40 cycles (30 sec on and 45 sec off) using a bioruptor (Diagenode). Immunoprecipitation (IP) reactions were performed with the sheared chromatin diluted 1/10 times with “dilution buffer” (0.01% SDS, 1.1% Triton X- 100, 1.2 mM EDTA, 16.7 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.1, 167mM NaCl, usually in 6 ml. Antibody was then added to either 5 µg (ARX, SP9, NR2F1) or 8 µg (ACSL1, GSX2) specific antibodies. Negative control ChIP reactions used either IgG (5µg) or blocking peptide (ARX, 400x molar excess). Antibody/chromatin complexes were purified using Dynabeads (Invitrogen) and washed extensively in “wash buffer” (low salt, 0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X-100, 2 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.1, 150 mM NaCl; high salt, 0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X-100, 2 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.1, 500 mM NaCl; LiCl, 0.25 M LiCl, 1% IGEPAL CA630, 1% deoxycholic acid (sodium salt), 1mM EDTA, 10mM Tris, pH 8.1 and TE). Complexes were eluted with 1% SDS, 10 mM sodium bicarbonate buffer at 65 ºC for 10 min. Eluted chromatin was reverse-crosslinked overnight at 65 ºC in the presence of 500 mM NaCl, then subsequently treated with RNase (10 µg/200 µL reaction, 15 min at 37 ºC) and Proteinase K (10 µg/200 µL reaction, 60 min at 55 ºC) and cleaned using a ChIP DNA Clean & Concentrator kit (Zymo Research). The chromatin was quality-controlled (QC) using qPCR to check for enrichment of genomic DNA fragments that were expected, and not expected, to have the different TF binding. For ChIP-seq, libraries were prepared using an Ovation Ultralow DR Multiplex System (Nugen), size- selected in the range of 300 bp on a chip from BluePippin (Sage Science) and lastly QC tested on a Bioanalyzer (Agilent). The libraries were sequenced as single-end 50-bp reads on a HiSeq 4000 (Illumina) at the Center for Advanced Technology (UCSF). PLAC-seq libraries for E13.5 basal ganglia were prepared similar to a previously published protocol61. 3 to 7 million cells were used for each library. If the cells appeared aggregated, they were dissociated with gentle MACS dissociator or Dounce homogenizer. Each PLAC-seq library was prepared using DpnII as the restriction enzyme and Dynabeads M-280 sheep anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen #11203D) mixed with 5 µg of H3K4me3 (04-745, Millipore) for the chromatin immunoprecipitation step. Finally, libraries were prepared with the Illumina TruSeq adaptors and the final libraries were sent for paired-end sequencing on the HiSeq X Ten (150-bp reads) equipment. ChIP-seq, PLAC-seq
